Important Precautions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
following important precautions and information before operating the treadmill.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this treadmill are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
11. Keep the power cord and the surge protector
away from heated surfaces.
12. Never move the walking belt while the power
is turned off. Do not operate the treadmill if
the power cord or plug is damaged, or if the
treadmill is not working properly. (See
Before You Begin on page 5 if the treadmill
is not working properly.)
2. Use the treadmill only as described in this
user’s manual.
3. Place the treadmill on a level surface, with

13. Never start the treadmill while you are
standing on the walking belt.
4. Keep the treadmill indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the treadmill
in a garage or covered patio, or near water.
14. Always hold the handrails while running on
the treadmill. When walking, hold the
handrails or use the included hand weights.
5. Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered.
15. Do not perform exercises with the hand
weights at speeds faster than a walk. Using
weights and not holding the handrails may
compromise your ability to maintain your

How to Use the Hand Pulse Sensor
The convenient hand pulse sensor allows you to
measure your heart rate before you begin exercising,
during your workouts, and again when you finish.
on the left side of the main display and your heart rate
will be shown. Continue to hold the contacts for about
15 seconds for the most accurate heart rate reading.
To use the hand pulse sensor, the console must be
turned on. In addition, the walking belt must be moving
or the time must be flashing in the main display.
HAND PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
• Stand on the foot rails and avoid moving your hands
while measuring your heart rate. Excessive move-
ment may interfere with heart rate readings. If the
hand pulse sensor is not used correctly, your heart
rate will not be shown.

or higher on your chest.
CR 2032
• Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing
forward and is right-side-up.
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use saline
solution such as saliva or contact lens solution to wet
the two electrode areas on the sensor unit (see the
drawing at the top of this page). If pulse readings do
not appear until you begin perspiring, re-wet the elec-
trode areas.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE
• Dry the chest pulse sensor after each use. The
chest pulse sensor is activated when the electrode
areas are wetted and it is put on; the chest pulse
sensor shuts off when it is removed and the elec-
trode areas are dried. If the chest pulse sensor is not
dried after each use, it may remain activated longer
than necessary, draining the battery prematurely.
• As you walk or run on the treadmill, make sure that
you are near the center of the walking belt and within
arm’s length of the console. For the console to dis-
play pulse readings, the user must be within
arm’s length of the console.
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Pulse read-
ing problems may be caused by medical conditions
such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs),
tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose
the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122°F
(50°C) or below 14°F (-10°C).
• The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
magnetic interference may be causing a problem,
try relocating the treadmill.
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
• If the chest pulse sensor still does not function prop-
erly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:
Hold the chest pulse sensor and place your thumbs
over the electrode areas as shown above.

TREADMILL OPERATION
TM
THE PERFORMANT LUBE WALKING BELT
This product is equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Plug
the power cord into a surge protector, and plug the
surge protector into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBETM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other
substances to the walking belt or the walking
platform. They will deteriorate the walking belt and
cause excessive wear.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter
that looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may
be used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
DANGER:
Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in an increased risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative if you are in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the prod-
uct—if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.
The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place
by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box
covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified
electrician to determine if the outlet box cover is
grounded before using an adapter.
Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home’s power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can
result from weather conditions or from other
appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the
possibility of your

Maintenance and Trouble-shooting
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and
follow the steps listed.
If further assistance is needed, please contact our Customer Service Department.
1. SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON
a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge protector, and that the surge protector is plugged into
a properly grounded outlet. (See How to Plug in the Power Cord on page 9.) Use only a UL-listed surge
protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length. If using a surge protector with
a power switch, make sure that the power switch is in the “on” position.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console. (See step
1 on page 11.)
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill near the

Conditioning Guidelines
Determine your target heart rate.
3
FACTORS IN A SENSIBLE DIET
Your target heart rate (THR), is the rate at which
you would like your heart to work during aerobic
exercise. It is expressed as a percentage of your
maximum heart rate (MHR). MHR is the maxi-
mum number of times that your heart can pump
during one minute. To determine your approxi-
mate MHR, subtract your age (in years) from 220.
This is only an estimation of your MHR—only clin-
ical stress testing can provide an actual MHR
reading.
• Choose high-fiber, low-fat, and low-in-sugar
foods: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Eat at least five servings of fruits and
vegetables each day.
• Cut back on red meat consumption; eat lean
meat, white meat, and fish.
• Choose healthy snacks; bring healthy foods
with you to work or in the car.
Once you have determined your MHR, you can
establish your target heart rate zone. Beginning
exercisers may wish to start at 60 to 70 percent of
their MHR. This level is called the Health level.
Exercise at 70 to 85 percent of your MHR for the
optimal training, aerobic, or cardiovascular level—
the Fitness level. Advanced exercisers, or those
wishing to do sports, athletic conditioning, or inter-
val training workouts should exercise at 80 to 85
percent of the MHR for short periods of time. The
chart below shows Target Heart Rate Zones for
Health, Fitness, and Advanced exercisers.
• Eat regular meals or mini-meals. Control your
portion size—don't binge or overeat. Eat
slowly.
• Reduce fast food and pre-packaged meals.
• Pay attention to fat content and calories.
• Limit alcoholic beverages and caffeine.
• Drink at least eight to ten glasses of water a
day.
Be sure to check your heart rate at least twice
during an aerobic conditioning session. First,
check your heart rate five minutes into your work-
out to be sure that you are at the proper intensity.
Then, check it again near the end of your workout
to verify that you have maintained your target
heart rate for the recommended period of time.
EXERCISE STEPS
The following nine steps for designing your exercise
program were developed by exercise physiologists.
The actual exercise you perform is only a part of a
safe and effective training program. There are many
other aspects to developing a life-long commitment to
physical fitness.

3. Hamstring Stretch—Sit with one leg
extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of
your extended leg. Reach toward your toes as far
as possible. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for both legs. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back, and groin.
WEIGHT LOSS TIPS
At least four, 30-minute workouts per week,
along with a reduced-calorie diet, are
recommended if you are trying to lose weight.
However, be sure to stay within your target
heart rate zone and exercise a maximum of 5
days per week for 60 minutes per workout.
4. Inner Thigh Stretch—Sit with the soles of your
feet together and your knees outward. Pull your
feet toward your groin area as far as possible.
Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3
times. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
Good posture is the key to safe, comfortable
workouts. Keep your chin up and your head
facing forward. Align your head and shoulders
with your hips. Avoid leaning forward. Keep
your back straight.
5. Quadriceps Stretch—With one hand against a
wall for balance, reach back and grasp one foot
with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to
your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 to 30
seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg.
Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.
Warm up before you begin.
4
A warm-up routine prepares your body and mind
for vigorous exercise. It also provides insurance
against injury and soreness. Warm up with two to
five minutes of slow exercise, at minimal intensity.
1
Stretch after your warm-up.
5
A pliable, well-stretched muscle is less suscepti-
ble to injury. Perform the recommended stretches
on a smooth, flat surface.
3
The correct form for several stretches is
described below (refer to the drawings at the
right). Be sure to move slowly as you stretch—
never bounce.
2
1. Toe Touch Stretch—Sit with your knees bent
slightly and slowly bend forward from your hips.
Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you
reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold
for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times.
Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees, and back.
5
2. Calf/Achilles Stretch—With one leg in front of
the other, reach forward and place your hands
against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and
your back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front
leg, lean forward, and move your hips toward the
wall. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further
stretching of the achilles tendons, bend your back
leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons,
and ankles.

Recent research indicates that several short
workouts in one day can also provide fitness
benefits. Gradually, your stamina will increase
and it will become easier to exercise for longer
periods of time.
BENEFITS OF AEROBIC EXERCISE
• Effective weight loss and management
• Added protection from heart disease
• Increased strength and health of bones
Cool down after aerobic exercise.
7
Keep moving! It is important that you cool down
properly to allow your heart rate to decrease
slowly after it has been elevated. This helps the
blood flow from your extremities back to your
heart. Keep your legs moving on the treadmill at a
slower pace for at least five minutes following the
aerobic phase.
• Higher levels of energy for greater productiv-
ity during the day
• Healthy stress relief from a pressure-packed
day
• Greater intellectual capacity and productivity
Stretch again at the end of your exercise
session.

Stretching after exercise reduces muscle sore-
ness. See step 5 on page 27.

Effective aerobic exercise has three major parts:
frequency, intensity, and time. The acronym "FIT"
may help you to remember these three parts:
Participate in strength training.
"Balanced fitness, including both strength training
and aerobic exercise, can do more to ensure a
happy life than just about anything else known to
medical science today."
“F” stands for the frequency of your workouts.
Three to five workouts per week are recom-
mended. Exercise at least four times a week for
weight loss.
F
—Kenneth Cooper, M.D., M.P.H., founder of The
Cooper Institute For Aerobic Research, Dallas,
Texas.
“I” refers to the intensity of your workout.
Check your heart rate at least twice during
I
your aerobic exercise session: once during the
session and once again at the end. Maintain a
workout intensity level within your Target Heart
Rate Zone. You can measure your heart rate
using the hand pulse sensor or the chest pulse
sensor.
A strength-training program increases your lean
muscle mass. Lean muscle mass aids in burning
body fat. With additional muscle mass and
strength, you will receive the full benefits of an
exercise program. You will also be less prone to
injuries during the aerobic phase of your workout.
“T” is for the time or duration of your workout.
Beginning exercisers may wish to start with 5
T
to 10 minutes of aerobic activity. Those in aver-
age physical condition should exercise for 20 to
30 minutes. Highly fit people, or people who want
to lose weight, should exercise for 30 to 60 min-
utes. The key to the time factor is that you main-
tain your target heart rate for the duration of the
workout period.
Remember to take it slowly. Fitness is a lifelong
commitment. If you can't go the full 20 minutes
from the start, which is common, try to exercise
for five minutes at a time, a couple of times a day.

Move on to the Fitness Level only when you feel ready
and your heart rate has moved below your target heart
rate zone.
WORKOUT TIPS
Full-body conditioning helps take care of many
of life's aches and pains. However, it takes time
for your body to adapt to any new routine.
Below are some tips that will help ease you into
your new IMAGE routine.
The Fitness level usually lasts 12 to 20 weeks. (It may
last longer, depending on your fitness goals.) At this
level you should strive to achieve your fitness goals.
Set realistic short- and long-term goals for yourself.
Frequently re-evaluate your fitness goals and reward
yourself as you are successful.
• Begin and end each exercise session with the
stretches on page 19. Stretch in a smooth,
controlled manner. Hold each stretch for 15 to
30 seconds. You may experience some initial
muscle soreness and discomfort as a result of
exercising inactive or poorly stretched
Move on to the Advanced Level when you have
reached your fitness goals and your heart rate has
moved below your target heart rate zone.
muscles. For maximum benefit, a stretching
routine must be performed every day.
Work out at the Advanced level once you have
reached your desired fitness goals. It is intended to be
a maintenance program and should continue on a reg-
ular, long-term basis.
• Be aware of your body's signals and react to
them accordingly. At your correct exercise
intensity, you should be able to whistle or
maintain a normal conversation. If during
exercise you feel tired, light-headed, dizzy, or
nauseated, stop exercising immediately and
consult your physician. Your heart rate may
also be affected by such things as stress,
caffeine, nicotine or prescription drugs.
You may wish to add Interval Training to your mainte-
nance program as well. Interval training will add variety
to your workout routine and further condition your
cardiovascular system. Interval training has been
shown to promote higher levels of aerobic condition-
ing. It consists of spurts of high-intensity activity fol-
lowed by active rest periods of exercise at a lower
intensity.
For example, a one-minute spurt of high-resistance,
fast exercise* is followed by a two- to three-minute
active rest period of low-resistance, slow exercise. The
duration of these periods should be based more on
how you feel rather than time. A sequence such as this
should be repeated 5 to 20 times during your workout
session.
WORKOUT PROGRAMS
The Health level typically lasts four to six weeks. At
this level you should be concerned with slowly improv-
ing your fitness level and endurance.
*Estimated maximum heart rate (MHR) = 220 – your
age.
Take it slowly. Set mini-goals for yourself. You may
want to begin your fitness routine with three or four
short, 5- or 10-minute workouts in a day.
